Apple-Cranberry Crisp
The beauty of this rustic dessert is how simple it is to pull together. Make an extra batch of the easy crisp topping and freeze it in a zippered plastic bag — that way, you’re ready at a moment’s notice to bake up a comforting treat.

Brandied Apple Cake with Figs and Walnuts
Loaded with apple chunks, dried fruit and nuts, here is a not-overly-sweet cake that can be enjoyed for breakfast, afternoon tea or as a casual dessert when topped with whipped cream.

Pear-Custard Tart
This delicately flavored tart is filled with vanilla-poached pears and brandy-spiked custard, then topped with sugary toasted almonds.

Apple and Cranberry Galette
This beautiful open-faced pastry, with scarlet cranberries nestled among golden apple slices, is a gorgeous dessert for a special meal. Because the fruit filling has been simmered before it goes into the oven, the galette bakes quickly and evenly.

While trifle is often considered to be a summertime treat, it’s also a great choice with the rich, deep flavors of winter: chocolate cake, vanilla-poached pears and decadent whipped mascarpone.

Apple Frangipane Tart
With its layers of flaky pastry, nutty-sweet almond frangipane and thinly sliced apples, this tart makes a great last-minute dessert and is showstoppingly gorgeous. It’s even more delicious served with lightly whipped crème fraîche.
